It seems like LeBron James’ former teammates have taken it upon themselves to defend him from Michael Jordan during the airing of ‘The Last Dance’.
Last week Kendrick Perkins declared LeBron the GOAT over Jordan and now Channing Frye tried to say that MJ only had “one job” on the court.
“He only had really one job. And that was to just score. And he did that at an amazing, amazing rate. But I don’t feel like his way of winning then would translate to what it is now. Guys wouldn’t want to play with him.”

Let’s just say Frye’s take didn’t over well with NBA twitter.
Michael was a nine time all defensive first thing first thing six championships he be hard to play with interesting I thought I could do more than just school what are you guys think

– Had 40/11/7 in the missed triple-double

@channingfrye says all MJ had to do was score, ignoring his defensive player of the year. But you do you.
He watched LeBron win him a championship so I guess I can see why he thinks he's the GOAT pic.twitter.com/flacKIIU0s— Ray Rauth (@dpn_ray) May 16, 2020

It’s an unbelievably ignorant take. MJ was first team all NBA defense 8 times…. and that’s a league record… Channing may want to sit the next one out…
